Boarding Up in Devon: 24/7 Emergency Service from Montrose Glass

Montrose Glass provides boarding up in Devon and is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. Whether you have experienced a break-in, storm damage, or vandalism, our team can reach you quickly and secure your property without delay.

Devon is a county of contrasts: a long, exposed coastline stretching from the Exe estuary to the edges of Exmoor, market towns like Barnstaple and Tiverton, and a sprawling rural hinterland that sits alongside busy urban centres in Exeter and Plymouth. Properties here face everything from Atlantic weather systems to opportunistic crime in town centres, and the need for a fast, reliable boarding up service is very real.

Our Window Glazing team covers the entire county, and every van is stocked with boarding materials and glass so that many jobs can be resolved permanently in a single visit. You do not need to make multiple calls or wait for a separate glazier to follow up. One call to Montrose Glass puts the right team on the way to you.

What Does a Boarding Up Service in Devon Involve

When you contact us for emergency boarding up in Devon, we dispatch a fully equipped engineer who can attend within 30 to 90 minutes in most circumstances. On arrival, the priority is to assess the damage and make the property secure. This means measuring and fitting boarding across broken windows, damaged door panels, or any other opening that has been left exposed by the incident. We use robust materials, including plywood boarding where appropriate, cut precisely on site to cover the affected area without causing further damage to frames or surrounding surfaces.

Boarding up is a temporary measure in most cases, but it is not a short-term fix in the way a piece of tape or cardboard would be. Professional temporary glazing holds the opening securely until a permanent repair is possible. In many straightforward cases, because our vans carry glass stock that can be cut and fitted on site, the permanent repair happens during the same visit. There is no gap in security and no return trip required. Where the damaged unit is a specialist item, such as a sealed double-glazed unit or a shaped or obscure pane, we will order the correct glass and arrange a follow-up visit as quickly as possible. You can read more about the full range of repair options on our Window Repair and Replacement page.

Our boarding up service in Devon covers residential properties, commercial premises, and rental properties. Whether the cause is a burglary, storm damage, accidental impact, or vandalism, the process is the same: attend fast, assess thoroughly, secure immediately, and advise you on the next steps for a permanent solution.

Why Professional Boarding Up Matters for Property Security in Devon

A damaged window or door is not just an inconvenience. It is an active security risk. An unsecured opening makes it straightforward for a second opportunistic entry, and in Devon’s coastal and rural areas where response times for other services can be longer, that risk is more pronounced. Temporary boarding carried out incorrectly, or with unsuitable materials, can give the appearance of security without actually providing it. A professionally fitted board is measured to the opening, fixed to the frame or surrounding masonry using appropriate fixings, and assessed as part of a wider inspection of the affected area.

Insurance is another practical consideration. Many home and business insurance policies require that you take reasonable steps to secure a property following a break-in or damage event. Using a qualified, accredited boarding up service satisfies that requirement and creates a documented record of the work carried out. Attempting a DIY repair or leaving an opening uncovered risks a policy complication at a time when you least want additional stress. A professional assessment also determines whether boarding is the right immediate step, or whether the damage is minor enough that Emergency Glazing can be fitted straight away without an interim board. That decision is made on site, based on what is actually in front of the engineer, not a guess made over the phone.

Vandalism repair and burglary repair are the most common reasons customers call us in Devon, but storm damage is increasingly significant. Devon’s exposure to south-westerly weather means windows, conservatory panels, and patio doors face real stress during winter months. If a pane fails during the night or over a weekend, our 24/7 availability means you are not left waiting until Monday morning.

Montrose Glass are experts in quick and effective window boarding up services in Devon to keep your business secure while you consider your repair options.

Superb service. The guys were out on time and the job was completed within an hour, including a full clean up. Would definitely use again.

We used Montrose Glass for a construction project in London recently. They were fantastic. Service was great, as was the workmanship. The 2 glaziers are a credit to the company. Also, they turned up and carried out the works during heavy snowfall without complaint. We would definitely recommend them.

I needed to get some work done for quite a while on my house, but kept putting it off - after a couple of calls to Montrose Glass I felt comfortable discussing it and they made it so easy and simple that I\'ve decided to get it all sorted. Great service and I have already got them quoting my mums house and will have no worries referring them on in the future.

Frequently Asked Questions About Boarding Up in Devon

The questions below cover the most common things homeowners and property owners in Devon ask before calling Montrose Glass. Each answer is written to give you clear, practical information so you can make a confident decision about who to contact.

Yes, Montrose Glass covers the whole of Devon, including rural areas, coastal towns, and city locations such as Exeter and Plymouth. We operate 24/7, 365 days a year, and our nationwide UK coverage means no part of the county falls outside our service area. Whether you are in a remote village on the edge of Dartmoor or a commercial property in the centre of Torquay, we can reach you.

In most circumstances, our response time for emergency boarding up in Devon is between 30 and 90 minutes from your call. We operate around the clock, so that response time applies at any hour of the day or night. Our engineers are based to cover Devon efficiently, and every van carries the materials needed to begin work immediately on arrival.

There is no call-out fee for any job in Devon. Attending your property and carrying out an initial assessment costs nothing beyond the work itself. All pricing is explained clearly and agreed with you before any work begins, so there are no surprises when the job is complete.

In many cases, yes. Montrose Glass vans are stocked with glass that can be cut and fitted on site, so if the damage is straightforward a permanent repair can often be completed in the same visit as the initial call-out in Devon. Where a specialist unit is required, such as a sealed double-glazed unit or a shaped pane, it will be ordered promptly and a return visit arranged as quickly as possible so your property is not left on a temporary board for longer than necessary.

Stay away from broken glass and do not attempt to remove or cover the damaged area yourself, as this can cause injury and may complicate the engineer’s assessment. If the incident involved a break-in, report it to the police and obtain a crime reference number before work begins, as your insurer will likely require this. Keep the area clear so the engineer can assess the full extent of the damage on arrival.

Montrose Glass are the professional, reliable and cost-effective fast response glazing specialists for your glass and glazing needs - 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
